Different sizes

Siemens hobs and cooktops fit in any kitchen.

Siemens opens up fascinating possibilities for kitchen planning. Whether you plan to cook with gas or electricity, need to fit out a full-featured cooking island or just a handy little office kitchen, Siemens offers hobs and cooktops that are tailored exactly to your needs.

Siemens hobs and cooktops come in several sizes. The choice of a hob depends on the available space in your kitchen, the number of people in the household and your personal cooking habits. Note also that the size of the hob has a lot to do with how big your cooker extractor hood will need to be.

Placement

You have the choice between hob and cooktop.

Hob or cooktop? There's a difference – a hob always forms a unit with a built-in oven, and shares the same operating panel. From it you control all functions of both oven and hob. Cooktops, on the other hand, have their own controls and own power cord. You can place them wherever you want, independently of the oven.

Operation

You're in command.

A perfect overview, fast reactions and intuitive operation – with Siemens control systems you can control your cooking zones easily and safely.

touchSlider

The touchSlider is a good example of Siemens interesting control systems. It is directly integrated in the top of the hob. You can control the temperature of the cooking zones either by tapping it or sliding your finger along the scale. There are no buttons or knobs. That makes the surface quick and easy to clean.

Type of heating

Induction

Induction hobs require an electric connection. They are very energy-efficient, because the energy generates heat in the bottom of the pot or pan only when it is in contact with the surface. The cookware must have a magnetic bottom in order to work on an induction hob.

Glass ceramic

A glass ceramic hob requires a suitable electrical connection in the kitchen. When you turn on the hob, you can see the red heating element glowing under the glass ceramic surface. Unlike induction hobs, glass ceramic hobs also heat their surface.

Gas

Domino

For people who want to keep their options open, Siemens offers the practical Domino hobs. They let you combine gas, glass ceramic and induction as you desire. You can have Domino cooking zones set into the countertop or installed on a cooking island. Connecting strips cover the spaces between the Domino cooking zones, for a harmonious overall appearance in your kitchen.

Safety

Protected on all sides for relaxed cooking.

Safety in the kitchen is important to Siemens. So our cooktops and hobs have features that make your kitchen even safer.

Child safety lock

The child safety lock prevents dangerous situations arising in the first place: the switch panels are protected from unauthorised access quickly and easily. The child safety lock is integrated in the main switch for the hob. Pressing it for six seconds blocks all functions of the cooktop. The lock can be cleared by again pressing it and holding it.

Protective grate

Portable protective grates are another way to protect the hob. You can attach them with suction feet when you're using the hob, so children can't get at the cookware or the control panel.

Residual heat indicator

Cooktops and hobs with a residual heat indicator show which cooking zones are still hot, and so help protect against burning.

Safety pilot

The electronic safety pilot for gas hobs shuts off the gas supply if the flame goes out.
